The Left Hand of the Devil Chapter 29 The Unjust Ghost Cries
As soon as Jin Yu walked out of the dark passage, she found that the pavilion courtyard in front of her was very familiar. She looked left and right for a long time, isn't this the backyard of the Qiwu Building?!
And the exit she just walked out of turned out to be the same entrance that Yu Niang had entered when she took her to the Library Pavilion last time.
The same exit, but leading to different places, it seems that this secret passage is much more complicated than she imagined.
This secret passage is really ingenious, if you look at it from the ground, there are two streets between the alley where the dance building is located and Jinxiu Street, and ordinary people can't even imagine that someone used a secret passage to connect these two places.
And this secret passage not only shortened the distance, even if someone saw him enter the shop on Jinxiu Street, how could they have thought that in the blink of an eye, the dignified Xuan King actually walked out of the backyard of the Qinglou, who would dare to associate this Tangxuan King with the largest Qinglou in Yudu.
Even if it is announced that the prince of Xuan, who has all his hands and eyes in the sky, is the son of a famous man in the rivers and lakes, how many people will believe it?
Even if you can't erase the truth in front of you, who can figure it out, why should you be a charlatan who licks blood and kills evil.
Even if it's a dead word, but people, the more you put it in front of you, the more you turn a blind eye.
The backyard of the Qiwu Building is still a place full of dangers and ambushes, but it is much better than the strange courtyard just now.
At least just the candlelight and sweet humming that came out of the front hall can make people realize that the world in front of them, which is half light and half dark, is still the world like a dream.
Jin Yu followed the dead quietly up to the fourth floor, and came to the room where Jin Yu saw Uncle Quan yesterday.
As soon as the two of them entered the house with their front feet, Yu Niang's back feet came, presumably someone went to report as soon as they came out of the dark passage.
"Yu Niang see the young master, why did the young master come here in person today?"
"Uncle Quan has some things to do, and I just want to see in person if Miss Jin is ready. Is it all arranged? ”
She glanced at Jin Yan meaningfully, and Jin Yan met his eyes as soon as she raised her head. Her heart froze, and those questions were stuck in her throat.
What kind of preparation did he want?
Preparing to kill? Or is it the preparation to be killed?
Or will they no longer have the opportunity to die in the sun, and will be submerged in the darkness of the earth?
"It's all ready."
"Let's get started."
He didn't plan to explain more at all, but he saw Yu Niang personally present three volumes of the dossier and put them side by side on the table.
"Miss Jin, what is recorded in these three volumes of the dossier is the goal presented this month, and your duty is to choose the final goal from them.
Originally, these files should not have been handled by me, but Mr. Liz left in a hurry, so I had to mention them first.
If you officially take over Mr. Li's position, then next time someone will naturally hand over the file directly to you, and then you will report directly to the young master, and no third person will be allowed to interfere.
Otherwise, according to the rules of the Wushenglou, once the target is revealed from your mouth, you... ”
"I see, let's get started."
Jin Yu didn't know why she interrupted Yu Niang like this, as if she was subconsciously avoiding something. Yu Niang didn't continue, just nodded and left the room.
Only Yan and Jin Yu were left in the huge room, and Jin Yan's hand gently brushed the three files, and finally picked up the middle file.
Yan sat down without saying a word, just looked at Jin Yu so lightly, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Poof".
He began to lightly tap the wooden table again, still those two fingers, and the rhythm was exactly the same.
Every time he was thoughtful, he would subconsciously tap on the wooden table, perhaps even he didn't notice this habit.
Jin Yu opened the file, her eyes were fixed on the file, but her heart didn't know where to fly.
Until the familiar knocking stopped, and it seemed that he took a sip of the hot tea. Only then did Jin Yu retract her mind and focus on the file.
The first dossier bought more than 40 lives of the Chen family in Wuzhou.
Wuzhou Chen, the surname of the head of the family is Chen Mingyuan. Originally, he lived in Quanzhou for generations, and has been running a silk business in Quanzhou since his ancestors.
However, twenty years ago, he suddenly sold all his family property, took the money and went to Wuzhou to reopen a silk shop.
According to him, he originally just wanted to keep the family business handed down from his ancestors, be a businessman, and not seek to soar but to be worthy of the ancestors and ancestors in heaven.
Unexpectedly, there are unforeseen circumstances, and people have good and bad luck, and an unexpected fire burned down the house handed down by the Chen family's ancestors.
Not only was the house gone, but even dozens of people up and down the Chen family were all buried in the fire, leaving him alone as a lone seedling, who survived by luck because he was not at home at the time.
Alas.
But overnight, the original three generations were in the same house, and a happy family was gone.
Chen Yuan was suddenly in a catastrophe, and his heart was naturally full of grief, but it had already happened, and even if he was grieving, it would be useless.
At the same time, he really didn't want to stay in that sad place anymore. So he sold his shop, packed up his only remaining belongings, and came to Wuzhou alone to start over.
After Chen Yuan came to Wuzhou, as he said, he returned to his old business and started a silk business.
After 20 years, the business of Chen's Silk Village is not salty or light, but the house of Chen's Mansion is getting bigger and bigger, and he married his aunt Jiufang, and completely settled in Wuzhou.
Twenty years ago, Chen Yuan, a foreign boy, became a famous old man Chen in Wuzhou City. On weekdays, he is generous and generous, and he has become a great benevolent person who is known to everyone in Wuzhou City.
When Jin Yu saw this, it seemed that Chen Yuan's story was over. However, there was still more than half of the file in her hand, and she looked at it carefully, only to find that what was behind it was the verification record of Wushenglou.
Every business, every goal, will not be touched unless it is thoroughly investigated.
It turns out that this is the way Wushenglou works, and it is strange that it has to take three years for Wushenglou to have the confidence to dominate the rivers and lakes.
Verified.
Twenty years ago, there was indeed a large Chen family in Quanzhou who operated a silk village for a living.
Chen's ancestor was originally a farmer, but when he encountered a severe drought for many years, there was no harvest in the field.
The head of the family of that generation was also a bold man, seeing that the whole family was about to survive. simply put his heart on the sidelines, took the little savings left in the family and started to learn to do business with others.
Perhaps it confirms the old saying, there is no endless road.
With extraordinary courage and vision, the head of that generation followed the old merchant around, coming and going in the wind and rain. I walked for several years, but I finally survived despite the hard work. After the most difficult days, I gradually saved a sum of money.
Many people saw that his business seemed to be not bad, and they also left their family's fields to his daughter-in-law and the old man to take care of, and learned from him to make a living as a running businessman.
But he was good, but he used the money he saved to buy a shop and start a silk business, and he made a fortune.
By the time of Chen Yuan's generation, Chen's Silk Village had opened all over Quanzhou City, which could be called a prosperous business and a wide range of wealth.
At that time, there were more than 100 people in the Chen family, and they were famous in Quanzhou City.
But the master of that generation, Master Chen, was notoriously stingy and stingy. As for Chen Yuan, he is the child of the second wife of the Chen family. But he doesn't often come into contact with outsiders, only vaguely remembering that he seems to be a cowardly and introverted child, and has no other impressions.
However, the fire 20 years ago is still fresh in the memory of the older generation of people in Quanzhou.
It's so miserable.
It is said that it happened in the middle of the night, and the whole city was asleep, until the watchman shouted "It's on fire".
People hurriedly dressed and got out of bed to go out to put out the fire, but when they looked out, they were stunned.
The entire Chen Mansion was already in a sea of fire.
The Chen family has a big business, and once it burns up, it will be terrible. The fire spread as soon as it "hulala", and there was no way to save it.
The fire almost reflected half of the sky in Quanzhou City, and it burned until the sky showed a glimmer of light, and the fire gradually decreased.
Not a single person escaped from it.
When the fire was extinguished, there was nothing left of the Chen Mansion. I had the courage to go in and take a look, and when I came out, my face was pale and my legs and stomach were trembling, and it took me a long time to breathe.
After that day, no one from the more than 100 people in the Chen family was seen again. Later, the government came forward to clean up the mess, but the charred ruins of Chen's mansion are still there, and no one dares to approach them at all.
According to the people who live in the neighborhood, in the middle of the night, you can always hear strange sounds coming from the Chen Mansion, which sounds like a woman's mournful cry.
Although the Chen Mansion burned down overnight, the Chen family's silk shop was unscathed. But for some reason, the dozen or so shops were closed overnight, and everything was gone.
Jin Yu closed the file, but she didn't rush to pick up the second file.
The records and verifications about Chen Yuan seemed detailed and reasonable, but she always felt that something was not right.
For example, although the Chen family's mansion burned down, why did those shops also close overnight?
For example, even if Chen Yuan is really sad and anxious to leave that sad place, is he not even willing to collect the bones of his family?
For example, Chen Yuan went to Wuzhou to resume his old business, and his business did not seem to be very good, but his reputation and family business in Wuzhou rose so quickly. Where did he get his money? Is it just the inheritance he brought out?
For example, this Chen Yuan seems to be an ordinary businessman, who wants his life?
Is it for the money?
Could it be that Chen Yuan still has some rare treasures hidden in his hands, which brought him death?
Jin Yu just wanted to speak, but she raised her hand to stop her and motioned for her to continue.
